It doesn't take a
genius to figure out that a clean, well-tuned snowboard is going to ride
better than an old beater. To put together your own tuning station isn't
all that hard and it will keep your board from poohing out when you need
it most. Here is a list of the essential things you will need to build
your own work station:

1. A clean work area
that you can throw some plastic on the floor and go to town.

2. A platform to secure
your snowboard down while you work on it.

3. Waxing equipment.
An electric iron for wax and p-tex situations. Wax, plastic scraper, and
p-tex candles are all a must. Other brushes and clothes can help a little,
but for the everyday rider it ain't all that.

4. A file for edge
work is a must. But you are also going to need a stone to polish up the
edges and put the finishing touches on.

5. Screwdrivers and
extra binding hardware.

There are a lot of
other bonus tools that you can pick-up at your local shop. But the preceeding
list represents the essentials. Most everything can be done with those
items. For more info check out Tuning Gear Guide.
